City council to consider subdivision variance

LAS CRUCES - An applicant proposing a subdivision, known as Cardon Estates Subdivision, will petition city councilors on Monday for a variance connected to the project.

The applicant, Sylvia Cardon, is seeking a variance of a requirement to build road improvements.

The proposed subdivision would split a 2.4-acre parcel into three new, rural, single-family lots of 0.8 acres apiece. Two existing mobile homes on the parcel would take up two of the lots, while a third lot would be for a single-family residence.

Cardon would be required to construct 336 feet of Bell Road for the project, unless the waiver is granted. In May, the city's planning and zoning commission recommended in a 3-1 vote an approval of the waiver, according to city documents.

Also Monday, city councilors will consider:

a resolution to OK the city's quarterly financial report ending June 30, 2016.

a resolution to accept $309,086 from the state to fund the Doña Ana County Juvenile Justice Continuum.

a resolution to fund the South Central Council of Governments with $11,140 as part of the city's yearly membership.

a resolution authorizing the Game Sports Bar & Grill to continue with the permitting process to allow for the sale and consumption of alcohol in a secured area at the Chupacabra Ruby Rugby Tournament on Aug. 6 at Burn Lake Park, 1855 W. Amador Ave.
